The 2024 film “The Brutalist” will be released on 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on March 24th via A24. The movie, directed & co-written by Brady Corbet, starred Adrien Brody (in an Oscar-winning performance). It co-starred starred Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce, Joe Alwyn, Raffey Cassidy, and Stacy Martin. It’s certainly worth noting this film is “Certified Fresh” (based on critics) at Rotten Tomatoes. The movie won three “Oscars.” It won “Best Achievement in Music Written for Motion Pictures (Original Score).” It also won “Best Achievement in Cinematography.” The movie was nominated for a total of nine Academy Awards.

According to A24, the transfer is derived from the original 35mm negatives with VistaVision footage scanned at 6K. The tech specs for the 4K release include a 2160p video presentation in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision (or HDR10) and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound. Tech specs for the Blu-ray include a 1080p HD video presentation in the 1.66:1 aspect ratio and DTS-HD MA 5.1 sound.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray are now available for preorder at Amazon. Consumers also can preorder directly via the A24 Shop. The bonus materials included in both versions are listed below.

The remaining films in the “Star Wars” film franchise – so far – are all coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on March 31st it seems, via Disney, according to retailer listings. There will first be a very lavish, expensive box set available (seemingly exclusive) at retailer Best Buy called “The Skywalker Saga” (pictured above) which is now available for preorder. That Skywalker Saga set will include Episodes 1-9 of the films, as well as two Blu-ray Disc counterparts for each film, filled with bonus materials – yet to be detailed. Stay tuned for further details regarding this release as it develops.

Now, as of today, there also are most certainly individual releases for Episodes 1-7 coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray on March 31st as well as the film “Rogue One – A Star Wars Story” (2016). It’s certainly worth noting that these titles are now all listed over at retailer Best Buy, individually. So, as you’d expect I’ll be listing the films coming out in theatrical chronological order with direct links to the Best Buy preorder listings – not yet functional but currently placeholder pages. UPDATED: I am now adding Amazon preorder listings to this post as they are getting listed.

NOTE: The final film in the Skywalker Saga (“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”) has been announced officially, as you can read HERE in my previous news post regarding it. This story regarding the individual releases is still developing, so once again, stay tuned.
